[OTA] Bloom in Snow
The gardens at Diamoond Castle are a bit of a mess.
Nothing unrecoverable, but the head gardener - old Arnifrid, who'd taken over again after Desiree had gone off to the Outside for...whatever - had been wringing his hands, so Avery changed into her rubber boots and followed him out, making soothing noises.
Admittedly her gardening skills were only casual from helping her mother when she was growing up, but other than a few frozen plants - unfortunate, but as consequences of the storm go, relatively minor - the garden should make it through intact. What needed to be replaced will be. It's what they have the greenhouses for, after all, and despite the power outage, those were just fine.
Once she managed to give Arnifrid some shoulder pats and sent him back in for tea, Avery crouched down next to one of the aster shrubs, and smiles.
"You've made it through alright, haven't you?"
